You Need to Read - October 26

by

child on computerWelcome to another weekly installment of YNTR.  I hope I have some great sites for you to visit and interesting posts or you to read.  Without further ado, here are this week’s picks:

  • Let’s go down to the ER and have ourselves a scare” from Parental Discretion Advised.  Bree learns what happens when you are busy all day and don’t have enough time to drink all the water you should be having while you’re in your last months of pregnancy.  It’s a lesson we must all learn at one time or another.
  • Insecurious elephantitis” from sweet | salty.  Isn’t it something that now, years and years after we’re out of school, we start learning that everyone went through the same issues that we did?  Kate, in her usual poignant fashion, captures just what it was like to not quite fit in in school.
  • We don’t even have any flavored kinds” from Kerflop.  Jessica details what is a somewhat embarrassing obsession her daughter has with some certain prophylactics.  Well, I’m sure it’s embarrassing for her, but hysterical for the rest of us.
  • Ash and Ye Shall Receive” from Dad Gone Mad.  From his regrettable front row seat, Danny lets us know just what it’s like to be a witness to the L.A. fires.  As always, he gives a new perspective on things and my heart goes out to everyone who has been displaced down there.
  • How do they get the air inside the bubble wrap?” from Rancid Raves.  Cagey revels in the differences between the good days and the bad when parenting two children under two years old.  Some of what she says scares me about what lies ahead for me when my baby is born but most of it is a comfort and I can’t wait.
  • Running Off at the Mouth” from Her Bad Mother.  HBM discusses the fine art of cursing and her propensity to be doing it more and more often (now that the grips of pregnancy hormones have her) in front of her impressionable young daughter.
  • The first of many unwelcomed milestones” from misszoot.  This a fantastic post I read just this morning where Zoot talks about how after she got done bawling out her older son the previous night, her two year old daughter proceeded to mimic her angry outburst.  Zoot has the uncomfortable feeling she was being mocked and knows more of the same is sure to happen in the future.

That is all the reading material you need for the weekend.  When you aren’t glued to the computer, reading fabulous blog posts, why don’t you get out and about with your families and enjoy one of the last beautiful weekends of fall?

Parenting is hard enough, isn't it? It's a wonderful thing when you can get online and find where another parent has gone through exactly what you're going through and you can see that they made it through to the other side. Here at Parenting Sites 411, I hope to connect you to the websites and blogs out there that show this journey through parenthood and the lessons that we can all learn together.
